colOURS for CFDA


colOURS, the final project of my fashion design BA, was nominated by Kent State faculty for the Council of Fashion Designer’s of America’s Fashion Futures Graduate Showcase. It was accepted and featured on CFDA.com and Vogue. 

colOURS explores colorism in black female communities through fashion design research for a womenswear collection, for a fashion show presentation, and an accompanying Instagram face filter. The following is some of my research.
